Chen Hao turned and saw a small dog limping toward him.
It had wounds all over its body, and one of its legs seemed to be broken.
It kneeled in front of Chen Hao and stuck its tongue out to lick his shoes.
Chen Hao was stunned.
He never thought that there would be such a small creature deep in the woods.
It was a miracle that it managed to stay alive with wild beasts around the forest.
“You want me to save you?” Chen Hao asked.
“Woof! Woof!”
It barked twice, and licked Chen Hao’s shoes again.
Chen Hao initially thought that it was a pity that the dog was too small. If not, he could extract its blood to make the essence of blood.
But now he saw the little dog was quite intelligent and it even managed to survive in the woods.
A surge of sympathy flooded him.
Moreover, it was seeking his help.
How could he bear to kill it?
“I feel so sorry for you. I wonder who threw you here? Luckily you met me!” Chen Hao shook his head and ruffled the dog’s head.
“Alright, I won’t be staying long here. Let me treat your wounds first. However, I can’t help you in escaping from this forest!” Chen Hao said.
He bandaged the dog’s wounds deftly and stopped its bleeding.
“If Uncle Wen and the other men followed me here, each of us can donate some blood and lure the fox out. But who knows how long I have to wait here? It’s getting late. I’m worried that the spiritual fox might escape from this valley. At that time, we have no other ways to lure it out anymore.” Chen Hao was crestfallen.
The dog however, lay in front of Chen Hao, resting his head on his feet.
“What now? I told you I have no time for you now. I have some important business here,” Chen Hao laughed dryly, looking at the dog that followed him.
It refused to budge.
Just then, Chen Hao’s ears suddenly twitched.
There were movements nearby.
It sounded like someone walking toward him.
“Woof woof!”
The dog had exceptional hearing too. It stood up and barked.
After barking, it blinked at Chen Hao and stuck out its tongue.
“You’re rather vigilant! You’re not afraid that you might attract the enemy and get killed?” Chen Hao smiled wryly.
The dog, however, seemed to raise his head at Chen Hao smugly.
“Hmph? You understood me? You purposely barked to attract the person here because you know I need human blood?” Chen Hao understood animal’s language after he studied the Scripture of Beasts.
The dog was communicating with Chen Hao just now.
It nodded and wagged its tail happily.
“You’re smart!” Chen Hao touched its head adoringly.
Soon, a figure approached Chen Hao and came in front of him.
“I couldn’t find you just now. Seems like you escaped to this place, you brat!” It was the elderly man who followed him. And now, he was sneering coldly.
“This is funny! You are on the brink of death, yet you apologized to me?” Liu Jiu pointed at Chen Hao and shook his head.
“No, I have conflicted feelings toward you right now—I’m not sure to thank you or to pity you!” Chen Hao was in a dilemma.
“Thank me?”
“Yeah, I desperately need human blood now, and was brooding about it just now. Since you are here—you seem to be quite skilled—it shouldn’t be difficult to use your blood to lure the spiritual fox out! You are a great help! I have no idea how to thank you. How about this? I will let you die without any pain, and leave your corpse in one piece!” Chen Hao said with an earnest face.
Liu Jiu frowned. “You brat! It’s been a year since we last met. I’m afraid you have some mental problems. You think you are able to kill me?”
“I had no other options!” Chen Hao said.
“Enough! I think you’re suffering from serious mental issues. I have no time for your bullshit. Young Master Chen, give me your life! I’m really curious about the expression on Chen Jindong’s face when he collects your body! Ha!” Liu Jiu then charged toward Chen Hao and threw a punch.
Chen Hao retaliated with his fists as well.
Bam!
With a loud crack, the sound of bones getting crushed reached his ears.
Liu Jiu yelped as he was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground.
Blood spurted from his mouth, and he was aghast.
In the fight just now, he felt an enormous power.
He felt like he punched a huge mountain, and his punch was reflected back at himself.
“You… you!” With blood flowing out of his mouth, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
His meridians were all broken by Chen Hao in just a punch. Why is he so powerful now?
Only a year has passed; how is it possible?
